yes it would be, just i am not convinced that the stadium will provide that big a boost.

 

Give him 5 years and come back to me

(how much do you think your owners will get for Coutinho to "invest" in the squad?)

 

So how big a boost do you think Big Stand will give you lot?

 

Who do you think will move club first: Lukaku, Zlatan or Coutinho?

 

bit more finances but thats about all

 

An extra £20m a year from the 8500 additional seats

 

Lukaku, he will be a very sought after player this summer with a good choice of top clubs to go to.
Zlatan I think is waiting to see how he feels at the end of the season, if he thinks he has enough to perform for another year he will stay, if not he will go for a swansong and to be the biggest star in China or America.
Coutinho, hard to say. If the club wants the type of money you lot talk about for a 1 in 5 player then no, if they accept around 45-50m then maybe.
What do you think of £50m for VVD, a young CH who is performing as well as any CH in the PL every game with a good 10 years ahead of him and still time to improve?

 

I think Zlatan is nailed on to move, especially if they fail to get CL football. Plus he's a free agent

I think Lukaku wants to move on but whether Everton let him is a different matter.

I don't think Coutinho wants to leave but I do think he could be tempted by the likes of Barca, especially with his bestie already there; Neymadge! Like Everton with Lukaku, we will be the obstacle for Coutinho moving.

 

Exactly, that is why clubs improve their grounds or build new ones. You have to provide great facility's these days, people expect it, grounds and stands aren't built to make a club "elite", thay are built out of necessity to help attract and keep the punters.
Good owners are the thing that push a club higher and into the elite bracket.
Moshiri has made a great start, the next few years will be interesting.

 

Anyone else getting pissed off by the overuse of 'fraud', 'nailed on' and other such words used on this board recently? All your fault @astro, you're just a natural leader I think.

 

Not a fan of spending so much when success depends on teamwork and systems but certainly far better value than Stones, Sterling, Bailly, or Pogba

 

So for the next 8.5 years nothing then?

£170m/£20m=8.5 weird innit how it equals the number of seats

 

I would contest that one, he is a very good player for his age and price.

 

He definitely leads himself on that score

 

It cost £115m not £170m, but even 8.5 years is over 3 decades sooner than Everton will pay off their stadium, which will give them an additional 9800 seats BTW

 

£30m for 5 clean sheets this season in a team set up for anti-football is very good?

 

TBH I have read so many different figures on here I just went for the last one (last week), the first one I read was £70m.
I don't think Everton have changed because of seat numbers, they are just wanting a brand new state of the art stadium in a great location with room to expand as their success grows.
Planning for the future

 

Ah stats, the last refuge of a person who doesn't watch games
You do realise he isn't the only defender on the field (a bit like Stones in that way) and has missed quite a few games through ACON and injury?

 

That's why I'm not generally a fan of big money defenders. In attack individuals create goals but in defence they concede goals.

So what part of him costing £30m and not doing his job is a good deal? Like Stones you're judging him on #potential while paying him the fee and wages of someone who actually delivers?

 

Nope I am judging him on watching him play, you should try it sometime.
How do you rate Matip, only 7 clean sheets and more goals conceded than Bailly?
I happen to think Matip is a very good player despite this stat because I have seen him play.

I actually thought I was starting to get a football conversation out of you, silly me
